Free version is useless

The free app has so little functionality that it takes ages to find anything you can actually do in it. Almost every exercise needs to be purchased to unlock it, I would have been more likely to have bought it if they were just upfront and charged for it rather than pretend it’s free but disable everything.

DO NOT HESITATE!!!!

DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS APP!!!! At first I thought it would be stupid like most of the other calligraphy apps. But, when I went in the app it was amazing. There are different brush and angle settings, you can trace over the shapes, and there are many different fonts for the calligraphy. But, one flaw (in my opinion) is that in the main level (I think) there is a score and it does not let you pass to the next letter unless you score is very high (not sure exactly because I never passed (b.) ) But, there is a level/stage where you can either just practice the letters or start from the beginning completely with techniques etc. (ect. I’m not sure)

It was perfect I was a beginner and now I am a pro

Amazing

No freedom

This app was keep on talking me to rate them, when I answered no thanks it took away my right to go practice and it said I had to pay I order for me to use it. The were forcing me to give it 5 stars 😒 worst app ever

A real gem

This is a real practical way of learning calligraphy without the mess and frustration. Coupled with “tradditinal” practice, this is a grand tool to aid and teach you your strokes and pen grips.

This is the way to learn calligraphy

Consistently clear instructions, and thorough information

Very thorough, Excellent instructional app!

This is by far the best instructional calligraphy app I have found to date. Many different hands are offered. Easy to navigate.

Brilliant app, would definitely recommend

This app is amazing. I have been practising my calligraphy and oh boy, this improved my calligraphy a lot. Better than any other app

Very cool. Well laid out.

I already know calligraphy but this is great to continue to exercise it. Great for beginners too. Would like to see words and sentences in the Paid version. Please add “mechanical” or “Architectural” printing used in drafting plans and engineering drawings.
This works great with Apple Pencil. Love the pen angle tool and paper refresh.

Excellent app

I am very impressed with this app. I have only been using it on and off for a day and I can already see improvement in my pen work. Thank you for such a brilliant calligraphy teaching app.
